Relevant Experience
I've been in the server scene for over a decade. I started on private servers for Runescape in 2007. That's when I began staffing and creating websites for servers. In the past, I have administrated runescape servers with hundreds of players. In 2012 I ran a minecraft server that was featured on Planet Minecraft homepage and was maxed out with 200 slots for many months until I was forced to shut it down after graduating and heading to college.
I have vast experience dealing with stressful situations and I'm very skilled at handling 'problem' users. It isn't much of a worry on a server like this given that it's adults and it's relatively small, but having the skills necessary is still something nice to have. Working in retail customer service for 3 years has taught me a lot about de-escalating situations. On other servers, I was very well known for resolving conflicts by talking rather than using force. I would much rather talk an issue out with a user than ban them. It ends better on all sides and I still live by that.
Additional:
I can't wait to see the future of this server. We have gotten some pretty cool people on the server and I hope to meet many more.

This would be nice. I did a bit of searching myself and came across this: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/treeassist.16941/
It has the ability to add faster leaf decay. It can also plant saplings instantly which I think would be nice as well. The only setting I'd be against is the one to knock the entire tree down with one hit. I wouldn't want that added, but it's all editable in the config.

I do like that plugin. I think it's another one that should be added as a possible donation perk. I was thinking it may be OP having the possibility to have a ton of spawners in one area, but I don't think any amount of normal spawners will even compare to an end farm so I don't see an issue with it.

I would love to see Mobcatcher and/or CustomEnchants added as either donation perks or rank upgrades. I think if configured correctly they could be convenient, but not too overpowered.
Thanks for the suggestions
